This is the life

It's gonna snow!

The guy that lives in our square box thingy (he calls himself a weather man) says it's gonna snow tonight! I am worried about all the cats that live outside, I hope that they are ok in the cold weather. Did you know that some cats live inside and they go outside sometimes? Why would they do that? Are they crazy? Me and the queen (Luna), the nutcase (Bailey), and the scary one (Jake) have lived with mommy for a long time and we have NEVER gone outside. Some people tell my mom that she is mean to "make" us stay inside, but come on! Have they SEEN it out there? There are dogs running around that might eat us, there are other cats that might fight us and make us sick (just ask Jake, he used to live outside all the time and he gots lots of scars from mean cats), and man it's COLD out there. My mom sometimes tells those people "ok, I'll just leave the door open and they can go out." So, she'll open the door and we'll come and sit right in front of it (inside) and look out. Once Bailey put a foot out, then he got upset and ran back inside. None of us wants to go outside, and why would we? We gots toys, food, treats, water (with ice cubes in the summer!), plants, catnip (mmm mmm I love that stuff), and cozy beds here in the house. And we have a mommy to lay on and annoy. I don't know what could be so interesting out there. Luna says she used to live under a porch and never ever got to go inside the house, and that any kitty that WANTS to go outside is nuts. She thinks any kitty that isn't her is nuts, but that's another story. Anyway, I am really excited for the snow. Last January it snowed and I layed on my cat post and looked outside, so happy to be inside...that white stuff...wow, it's really wet (I know cuz my mom and her person-kid went and played in it...they're nuts...and brought some in on their clothes and boots and it was like really cold water).

I hope all my kitty friends are warm this winter. I'm a lucky cat and I know it. But shhh don't tell mom, I like to make her think that I can make it without her.
